Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Swim with Dolphins in Costa Rica?
No, swimming with dolphins is not permitted in Costa Rica, and for good reason. While dolphins are known for their playful and curious nature, they are wild animals that should be respected and protected. Interfering with their natural behavior or getting too close can cause stress and disturbance to the dolphins and their social structures. During our dolphin tours, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to observe these beautiful creatures from a respectful distance, allowing you to appreciate their grace and charm in their natural environment while preserving their safety and freedom.
What Time is the Best for Whale Watching?
The best time for whale watching in Costa Rica is during the annual migration seasons of these majestic marine creatures. Humpback whales are the most common species found along the coast. They migrate from December to April and then again from July to November. During these periods, you have a higher chance of spotting these incredible whales as they pass through Costa Rican waters. Our dolphin tours are carefully scheduled during these seasons to offer you the best opportunities for witnessing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
